Compare how Bruce Scott and Laurie Ferguson voted on increasing transparency of big business by making information public
Bruce Scott
Former Deputy Speaker Representative for Maranoa October 2012 – May 2016
Laurie Ferguson
Former Australian Labor Party Representative for Werriwa August 2010 – May 2016
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal govenment should increase transparency in big business (that is, companies with an income equal or more than $100 million/year or, alternatively, $200 million/year) by making certain information public, including their total income and how much tax they paid
Now this is where it gets a bit tricky… Two people might vote the same way on votes they both attended, so their votes are 100% in agreement. They might also have voted in a way we’d describe differently when looking at all of one person's votes. If the other person didn’t or couldn’t have attended those votes we leave those out of the comparison. Because that just wouldn’t be fair now, would it?
